"Lovely stay in the Rainforest motel. Andy is a great host who made us feel very welcome. We sadly, were only there for one night, as we were passing through on our way to Queenstown, however if we are lucky enough to return to NZ we would definitely stay here for a few nights. The property is comfortable, clean and the unit we had was updated and had a great new bathroom / wet room.

Mt Cook View Motel - Fox Glacier

10/10 Excellent

"This was a really nice motel where a couple can spend their time comfortably for several days! Staff was welcoming and friendly (including the two dogs and hens). The room with kitchenette and bathroom was an appealing lay-out and very clean. It was a quiet location and we got a really good night sleep. Parking was free. All in all, a place that can be recommended. Would book it again when in the area."
